Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were elected to the Hall of Fame yesterday. It is now just a footnote, but the last major league game Alomar played was during the 2005 Spring Training with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He went 0-11 and called it a career before the season even started. During a conference call yesterday, Alomar reflected on his brief tenure with the Devil Rays. [TampaBay.com]

Rays Prospects interviews prospect John Mollicone…Mollicone went to Fordham University the same time we were teaching there, but we don’t think he was ever in one of our classes. [Rays Prospects]

Buster Olney says the Rays are one of three teams that represent the best fit for Vlad Guerrrero…Our first choice remains Jim Thome, but Vlad the Impaler would be a nice consolation prize. [Twitter]

Jason Churchill says Jim Thome is asking for “as much as $8 million.” If true, the Twins may pass, but so would the Rays. Churchill adds that the Rays could become a suitor of Vlad Guerrero,”but price is most important in Tampa [sic].” [ESPN Insider]

David Price went back to first grade on what appears to be a cross of ‘Wear your PJs to school’ day and ‘Bring your super-famous uncle to school’ day. [Terez Owens]

John Romano says Fred McGriff is at a disadvantage in the Hall voting…It is weird that voters will discount suspected ‘roiders, but won’t boost players that were obviously clean. Still we think Crime Dog is at best borderline. [TampaBay.com]
